I have been receiving requests for donations by Mozilla. Is this normal or a valid request?

more options

As a nonprofit, Mozilla Foxfire needs $3 donation from its users to continue support for another year. Also an option to donate larger amounts or donate monthly.

The link to make a donation will sometimes appear on about:home or other Mozilla owned websites.

This is normal behaviour, as Mozilla is a non-profit that is run with donations. Mozilla does not require you to donate in order to use our products.

If you are skeptical about the legitimacy of a request for donation from Mozilla, please feel free to post a screenshot of the donation page and link to it and we can verify whether it is real or fake.

The website for donations is usually sendto.mozilla.org.
